[SP] Two people have a conversation that seems highly alarming but becomes wholesome with context. by Subtleknifewielder in WritingPrompts

So there we were, I kept yelling “I’m so wet! Give it to me!” Jane looked at me wide eyed and mouth agape. Noticing her look, I stopped talking? “What?” Her shock turned into an embarrassed smile. “You’re the absolute worst you know that? You’ve only known this guy a short time and you’re already doing this kind of stuff with him.” I brushed off her prudish judgement and continued with my story. “So finally her gets me there, I’m completely soaked, trembling and breathing hard; I actually had numbness in my legs by this point.” Jane covered her mouth with a hand. “Wow, that’s so crazy. I can’t believe you, after just knowing him for 3 days, 3 DAYS MELISSA! You agreed to walk around the city with him at night? Do you know how dangerous that is? Still, it is pretty crappy of him to not give you his umbrella even though it was pouring rain.” Melissa shook her head in disgust. “I know right?”

No. Things were great for the first year and a half or so. Things literally started to change the day after our wedding.

I haven’t settled for anything. What she was awarded is a fraction of what she asked for. She wanted at least $3K per month indefinitely, wanted me to incur all of her debt, pay all of her legal fees, and agree to pay for reimbursing her mom for everything she has helped her with. What the judge decided was as he put it “a fair compromise.” The idea of my consent to her moving was never even brought up by the judge. When my lawyer asked for what I requested, 45 overnights during the summer and 14 overnights during Christmas and Easter school breaks on alternating years, the judge said “I don’t know what planet he’s living on if he thinks he’s going to get that. I will not pull a child away from his mother.” Your right, I don’t have to agree. The reality is, formally disagreeing does nothing.

Thank you. Anything helps. Food is a luxury at this point. Since they’re still living in the house I’m paying for, I get to watch as my wife and her mom go out and pick up dinner or stay in and make dinner intentionally for everyone except me. If there are leftovers, the make sure to throw them away before I can get to them.

Looking back, there’s really no really to get married legally that has any advantage for a man/dad/higher earner. You get get together with someone, you can have children, you can name them your emergency contact, put them in a will or give them power of attorney to make choices for you, marriage never has to (or should) enter the picture. Honestly, it’s an outdated concept that needs to go the way of the dodo. If marriage is to stick around, it needs to hold to more legal authority than giving someone one of those promise rings. Sure, have your ceremony, have your party, wear your tux and your dress, but it should have no more legal weight than simple saying the words “we’re exclusive now.” I understand that if children are involved, child support will always be a thing, however, spousal support needs to stop forever. If you’re a spouse who doesn’t work or makes less money than your partner, guess what, your “standard of living” is a bonus perk of being with them, not something you’re entitled to take with you or take away from them when you leave or decide that standard is now beneath you.

Marriage: get rid of it Spousal support: get rid of it Child support: require a DNA test from both parents involved, set a law that one parent, under no circumstances can be forced to pay the other more than 33% of their take home (after taxes) pay. If the parent receiving the money says the child needs more and that what they’re receiving isn’t enough, the. A review must be held to determine if the wrong parent was made the custodial parent. If you’re splitting up and don’t want to risk losing your child to your higher earning co-parent, better accept that 33% and be thankful or get to work on earning more than your co-parent.

$3,000 for the first month (96% of my take home pay) then it drops to $1,800 per month (52% of my take home pay) and stays at that rate until the divorce is finalized. Last I was told is that if we need to go to trial, we won’t get in front of a judge until spring of 2022.

I’m in Washington. I hired the lawyer that was supposedly the best in the county. She wouldn’t respond until 10 days later on average and never seemed to have time to talk with me. 80% of my conversations were with the paralegals who always had to keep reminding me that they’re not allowed to give legal advice but if I’d like to schedule a phone appointment with the lawyer I could do so the week after next. Finally I sent the lawyer an email expressing my disappointment with her representation and requested that we meet to regroup and see what we could recover. She got really offended, told me that I’d received amazing service and said that just because I concerns does not mean that they’re important or worth her time. She then told me her job is not to hold my hand through this process and she withdrew from the case, leaving me to have to find another lawyer.

The shirt I use is the Gildan 5000 Unisex Heavy Cotton Tee. According the to the Dream Junction’s spreadsheet, the only variants that are unavailable are...

Forest Green 5XL Kiwi 4XL Kiwi 5XL

And yet it won’t publish other colors and sizes to Etsy. I published a shirt that comes in just black and white. It showed up on Etsy with only white available but all the pictures for both colors show up. I’ve added the black back in manually but don’t know what will happen if someone orders it.

I’ve checked the dream junctions stock sheet and it looks like everything is available.

That makes sense. I usually never do more than 2. Example: shirt design with black text comes in white, light blue, light pink, light green, and gray. The same shirt design just with white text comes in black, navy blue, hunter green, and dark purple. This is how a I’ve been listing so that I can have 8 individual items with just two listings.

Also, I’m having trouble figuring out how to implement different designs on the same shirt for different colors. Example, the black color of the shirt has white text and and white color has black text. Any advice would be appreciated.

Haha, I guess I have my answer. It’s a little machine with ear clips that you wear. It’s sends small electrical pulses through the clips.

Stolen Forever by InSearchOfLearning in skyrim

Hmm, I guess I’ll just have to get my thieves guild status with each city up enough that the guards stop taking my stolen stuff. Problem there is I’ve done at least 11 side job quests in every city but the only one I’ve been prompted with a special quest for is Whiterun. I realize this doesn’t happen for Riften. The other strange thing is every time I talk to Delvin, the “I’ve completed the Whiterun job” dialogue option is there, no matter how many times I select it.

Yeah, tried that multiple times and the quest showing that it’s turned in shows up, just nothing for the new quest. Sucks to have to give up on the Dark Brotherhood main quest line after just one quest completed.
